Hi all,

I have been separated for nearly a year now and wife wants divorce (no chance of trying again I think). Problem is I am not over her at all and in a lot of mental distress because of this. I feel like my life is essentially over (besides looking after my kids - but I see them much less now and feel much distress about this too).

Several times over the year I have seen escorts (legal in my country and not until after separation), which has been good in some ways but has led to anxiety about stds.

Still, I feel compelled to keep going to them. Has anyone here been through something similar? Any advice is appreciated.
